I am guided by a number of psychological, social, and systemic perspectives, and integrate therapeutic modalities that are evidence‑informed and compatible with the person I am working with.

I don’t favour a single therapeutic modality, because I work from the foundations of a person‑centred approach. This allows me to draw from different theories and therapies in ways that remain responsive to the person I’m sitting with. My ability to work in an integrative way has developed through formal education and training, as well as practice‑based experience across different methods, diverse populations, and varied contexts.

Support is tailored and adaptive — responsive to your circumstances and environment. This might include family dynamics, social environment, work or study pressures, your physical health, and the broader systems that shape your day‑to‑day life. These parts of our lives interact and can influence how challenges develop, persist, or resolve

My approach involves working with people to understand and connect inner experiences — thoughts, feelings, and personal history — with the wider context of relationships, family, work, and community.

A systems perspective provides a more holistic understanding of our lives and experiences. Challenges and difficulties are considered within a broader lens that includes relational and social contexts. This approach moves away from reductionist — or narrowly focused — understandings that explain or treat difficulties as solely internal pathology, or an ‘individual problem’.

A systems perspective can be thought of as offering a more complete picture — like a map of the world you are navigating. Together with a person‑centred approach, which ensures your strengths, needs, preferences, and priorities are guiding the process, it provides a bridge between your internal experiences and the external relationships that shape your daily reality. It can support you to shift recurring patterns in your life, within a framework that draws together your history, strengths, needs, and preferences, so that our work together is meaningful and relevant to you.

Relational practice is grounded in working collaboratively rather than directing or imposing change. It recognises that people make sense of themselves through connection with others, and that our histories, relationships, and social environments shape how we move through the world. Relational psychology emphasises the “self‑in‑relation” — the idea that we are shaped through relational dialogue, socialisation, and cultural context. Relational therapies aim to contextualise suffering through authenticity, dignity, and relational dialogue.

This approach also supports people to understand how past relational experiences influence current behaviour, including the ways we may protect ourselves, withdraw, or push others away. The therapeutic relationship becomes a safe and authentic space to explore these patterns, develop insight, and experience a different kind of connection. The goal is to support the development of new relational patterns that feel more aligned, secure, and sustainable in your life.

This is reflected in the way I show up in the room. Seeking out and engaging with professional support can often be one of the most challenging steps people take. It can feel odd or even artificial — as though you need to plan what to say or prepare for the classic opener, “So, what brings you here today…” This is not my approach. My interpersonal and communication style is more natural, supported by the comfort and ease I have working in this space.

I draw on a range of therapeutic modalities that I integrate flexibly depending on your needs and preferences. These approaches are not applied rigidly, but woven into our work in ways that feel relevant and supportive. I work within a framework guided by evidence for what is understood to be helpful, while adapting with consideration for context, neurotype, communication preferences, and goals.

This may translate to anything from highly structured processes to more fluid and client‑led sessions — depending on what you are seeking support for and established together through collaborative planning and agreement around what aligns most with your needs and preferences at the time.

My ability to work flexibly and responsively is an important part of providing care that feels personalised and supportive. Regardless of the modality, I believe that engaging with therapeutic support is a worthwhile and rewarding step to take - for just about any of the challenges and difficulties we face in life. Our experiences and challenges are always unique - but support can be valuable for anyone and everyone.

I appreciate the vulnerability involved in reaching out for both the first time or the tenth – which is where my foundation of trauma‑informed care offers safety. Recognising how experiences shape the mind, body, and relationships – I work with you to reach a point of shared understanding, that then guides the suggestions and directions you choose to take.

In our sessions, you always have the choice to stop, slow down, or decline to discuss any topic that doesn't feel right in the moment. This isn’t a space where things are "done to" you; instead, we work in a true collaboration.

My approach involves creating a reliable environment where you can feel secure enough to explore your world without the pressure of imposing judgment or over-directing and forcing a "fix." Our priority is understanding first what has and is happening for you, which allows for a deeper sense of clarity and agency as you move toward change at your own pace.

By integrating this safety-first approach with a person-centered philosophy and a systems perspective, we ensure you are seen as the expert on your life while also mapping the complex relational context shaping your experience. This holistic view provides you with a sense of control over your healing journey, fostering a transformation that is both deeply personal and lasting within your wider world.

Ultimately, I believe relational fit matters most. The therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes — shown to often be more important than the therapeutic modality. Finding the right fit for you will make all the difference.

If I am not the right fit for you, there will be someone else who is. If you share this sentiment and identify with the importance of finding the right relational fit, you are welcome to reach out and request a 10‑minute introductory session via telehealth or phone call before committing to an initial appointment.
